Origin and meaning of Agathe
Agathe comes from the ancient Greek agathós (ἀγαθός), 'good, virtuous', and was borne by a Sicilian martyr venerated across Christendom. In France it remains an evergreen classic, a steady presence among top female names in INSEE records over recent decades. Parents love its understated elegance, compact sound, and the tie to a beloved patron saint.
